Slow typing keyboard Black 2.5

Does anyone have a problem with a slow lagging keyboard while typing text messages. I noticed it after I installed the Black 2.5 rom. I have installed the keyboard mapping fix but that did not help the lagging issue.

I been typing like crazy today on my 8525/2.5 with MSN Live Messenger. Seems very fast to me..

I had the same delay...Can't remember if disabling the word completion took care of it or installing the memory performance cab from JJ that took care of it. I'm banking on the memory performance cab though.

I have noticed this issue a little bit, but if I remember correctly Ive had the problem even before isntalling any of the roms, and it only happened for the first set of characters that I types (usually the first word).
Has anyone else noticed this with the standard wm5 roms?

I've experienced the same issue.

I wonder if it was one of the patch cabs that I installed cause I have not seen a lag at all [yet]. Perhaps it is just waiting to pop up on me.

Are you talking about the pop up keyboard?
I think what the OP was taliking about is that when you first start typing with the pull out keyboard there is a slight lag, like with me, I'll start typing - it hesitates - and then it like catches up. Not only that but the screen even goes dim for a moment .
I don't remember if I had this issue before or not.

Nope, I was talking about the pull out keyboard. Seems to work very well so far. I just retested it in Work and in MSN IM.

Oh well.
I'm not going to concern myself too much with it, because I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be running 3.0

Similiar typing issue here on 8525
I've noticed the same typing issue using both Black 1.2 and Black 2.5 were it often lags or simply skips a letter (usually "h" after "t" leaving "te" instead of "the" or "s" after "i" leaving "I" instead of "is")
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8525 keyboard fix cab, but it does not help.
Two things I have noticed:
1.) The typing problem does not seem to appear until several days after I flash the ROM.
2.) It really only seems to affect the Messaging app. (When I type into PIE forms or Notes, the problem does not seem to exist)
Definitely did not have this problem in WM5, so I am hoping that the problem will be gone in Black 3.0

this is a real problem. I have experienced it with all wm6 roms I have installed. I have a strong feeling its related to the suggested word list that comes up....but this is a rediculous problem for us to have to deal with and should be fixed. I also agree that its limited to the messaging app.

yes the problem i was originally talking about is with the messaging app only. i have no problems in word, or IE. I have the memory performance cab installed but noticed it before that as well. does anyone see a difference with the suggestive words disabled?

Put 3.0 on Hold

I'll PM JJ and ask him to hold off on the release of 3.0 until he's sure we won't have this issue.
Just Kidding. .

I actually started a thread about this a while ago but titled it in reference to skipping keys because I type so fast with the thumb keyboard that the device cannot keep up and omits some of my key-presses. However, someone suggested something that I had tried with WM5 (but it didn't work then) but hadn't thought to do with WM6.
Go to Settings>Input>Word Completion(tab) and change the "Suggest after entering" setting to something such as 3 or more letters. I have mine set to 4 letters and have zero problems with skipping or slow typing unless in a third party program such a TomTom.

a little out of topic...
but after changing to black 2.5 my time zone seems to be weird....i had tried to set it to GMT+8 Singapore time....but after a while it will change to another country thats GMT+8 but when i change it back to GMT+8 Singapore time.....it will be one hour early.....

I have the slow keyboard problem too.. Its making me mad.. And the black2.5 rom seems to slow down a heck of allot after a week or so use.. Any ideas why would this be aswell?? I only have 4apps installed.. One on today screen and rest only when i use it..

a slow keyboard is one thing, but skipping letters is another. (This issue pertains to not only Black, but also Custel, LVSW, and Dutty)
The thing is, when i text message, i start typing immediately after the window pops up. But for some reason, it lags, and then when it catches up i notice that my first 3 words are so are all butchered cuz letters were dropped. I didn't experience this issue with my MDA Vario / 8125. The worst that would happen is the text would lag, but would eventually catch up to my typing. And it WOULD NOT drop any letters. With the new wm6 roms for hermes, im noticing lag and letter dropping. I've tried the suggestion of even turning off autocomplete, and setting 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, and 4 words. Still having the same issue. I opened a thread about it long ago, but it just got closed because they "supposedly" deemed it a fixe issue. Well its not!
To clarify: I'm not trying to bash any of the rom chefs' work, as i am very thankful for what they do. But it would be very nice to have this issue addressed and fixed.

Has anyone tried changing the Up/Down Control repeats....
Settings/Buttons/Up Down Control?
I put mine up to max, and seems to have fixed my problem....

@ **Milo**
Hi and thanks for the sugestion , i tried it and my slow typing issue has gone. As an experiment i switched the rate back to where it was (about one third of the way up the slider) and its still gone. It seems switching the slider up to max cleared whatever setting was causing the slow down.
Im going to leave the phone on standby for a while then try it again to see if this has any effect on it.

Need some help

I’m using Schap’s ROM version 4.0 (great rom ) I didn't have enough time to upgrade to 4.22 for now. I have noticed a strange problem with my TyTN. While scrolling the contacts with keys (beneath the screen not the keyboard) sometimes all keys stops responding – even for starting and endig calls. The device is working and the touchscreen is ok too. I have to open the comm manager from the side button (this one works) and close it then everything is ok - all keys are working fine.
I have posted this problem during the discussion for the Schap’s Rom 4.0 and someone suggested that this is a hardware issue. I’m sure it’s not because everything else works fine and I only get this problem while scrolling the contacts.
This is annoying.
Has someone got the same problem? Any suggestions how to fix it?
Thank you in advance.

problems with keyboard?

I know there are other threads like this but each phone is unique. Wondering of anyone else is having similar issues. Every now and then (throughout the day) ill open up messages. Handecnt kik. Browser etc... And ill start typing haptic feedback working. But no letters show up. I've tried stock. Better. And gingerbread keyboards all seem to have the same issue. Any way to fox this? My Inc 1 dis the same stuff sometimes but its quite annoying. I'm also running Atk like I always do I ignore keyboard messenger.and I've also tried without ignoring it. Is this an Atk problem or glitch with these HTC devices?

Happens to me sometimes too. I usually works if i hit the back button then where im trying to type again. It must be a little software bug.

So I got rid of Atk, problem solved

hardware problem?

hi, had my desire z about a year now, since ive had it, quite rarely ive had a problem of it seeming to have a mind of its own, for example, icons may be selected, or the home screen will slide accross by itself etc. ive always put this down to a trackpad problem.
the other day (after having a miui rom installed for about 2-3 weeks, which was fine untill now), it started acting up strangely, the above problem started happening, but more severe, also the touch screen and softkey buttons would stop working for periods of time (or stop completely untill reset), but screen rotation etc would still be working, which shows that the O/S has not frose and is still working behind the scenes (making me think its a hardware problem).
now, i think ive worked out that this seems to be triggered (mostly) when i open the keyboard. (as also, when the touchscreen stops working etc, sometimes, sliding the keyboard open and close several times, will sometimes seem to unfreeze the touchscreen etc, and will be back to normal, for a while). ive tried doing full wipe and reflashing etc, but i still have the same problems mainly when using the slide out keyboard, which again, makes me think its hardware (possibly keyboard ribbon cable?)
i really dont want to send it off as that means getting it all back to stock etc, and last time i needed the screen replaced, took 6 weeks to get it back!
if anyone could pinpoint the likely source of the problem, id rather replace the part myself..
would anyone have any ideas, as they would be very much appriciated... Thanks...

anyone at all?

I got 2 Zs meanwhile but dont have any problem with the keyboard.
But sometimes when its charging i got the same issues like you - no touch is working and the screens are sliding nearly automatically.
I think this has nothing to do with the keyboard...
Hope this had helped you a bit

thanks for the reply, unfortunately im still no closer to finding source of the problem, its intermittant, happened lots yesterday, not so much today, maybe the digitiser? its like there is another invisible finger touching the screen..

This would happen when i was on stock froyo, like it would cause the home screen to hang, but if i was ion an app it worked fine. I would use it to refresh of sorts when my phone was hung up or i need to reload my apps from sd lol. Sounds weird I know, but even with stock froyo i had problems with my keyboard but with the prerooted GB its as smooth as butter...

still going on, and getting more frequent, i dont think it is to do with the keyboard anymore. im now guessing it is the digitizer, its like someone is pressing an invisible finger on the screen, roughly in the center. it comes and goes, it happens for about 3 days, then goes away for a couple of days etc.
also there is very little info anywhere on the net that can help, including replaceing the digitizer itself
anyone ever replaced one on a disire z/g2?

[Q] Should I get my Nexus 7 replaced?

Hi,
I've been reading for awhile about all these issues with the Nexus 7 2013, and I'm wondering if mine has a hardware defect and needs to be replaced, or if I should just keep it. Perhaps they have updated the hardware since it was first released, and I need a new one?
When I first got mine, it had the erratic phantom touches on my keyboard and rebooted a lot. After I updated to JSS15R, I haven't seen either of these happen again, however it does consistently not register my finger touches (about every other touch). I tested touch in a multi touch app on JSS15R, and if I put 2 fingers down, sometimes the 2nd one isn't seen, but the first one is, and sometimes in certain spots, it will even register more than 1 finger when I have only 1 on the screen, so in regard to that, I am still seeing problems. The touch seems to work normally other than these things I mentioned.
I haven't yet noticed any issues like overheating or GPS problems, and after JSS15R, no more phantom touches either (at least not when using everything regularly, as I still noticed problems in my multi touch app).
Summary of problems before JSS15R:
Phantom touches.
Tons of reboots.
App crashes.
Summary of problems I have with JSS15R:
Missed finger touches. (Doesn't matter if I'm holding it or not, and I haven't checked when it's charging).
Reboots (only happened once, and haven't seen it again since).
App crashes sometimes (haven't seen it too much though).
My view of this: I think that GPS, reboots, and app crashes are a software problem, while touch screen problems (missed touches or phantom touches) is a hardware problem. I think it should be replaced with a newer model because of the touch screen problems (I've seen people here that say they have 0 issues). What's your view of this?

Some of the reboots on this device are hardware. Others are software. If you stop using an app and the reboots go away, it is probabaly software. If it is just random even with all stock apps and nothing added, then it is probably hardware.
Button is hardware.
GPS is software and fixed in JSS15R.
Touchscreen is ultimately hardware variance but if you use the touchscreen fixes many people can eliminate the problem or mitigate to the point it doesn't bother them, though some units are too far off to be saved.

Thanks for your reply! I guess I could probably say that if any of your touchscreen patches completely fix my problems, then it's probably a software problem. I'm glad that the phantom touches are gone, but the missed touches and weird touch problems in the multi touch app are annoying. I was supposing that since my reboots seem to be completely fine now, that it was a software problem. I think I can live with the button problem, as long as the device works fine and has no touchscreen problems.
Does anyone else think it should be replaced? Considering the reports of people with 0 problems, I still lean to this conclusion, and would prefer a newer batch (or at least the touchscreen problems fixed for good).
